The Saints (3-3 overall, 1-1 CC) executed well in the opening set and the Trojans struggled to transition from defense to offense on several possessions. MOC pulled within a single point on three occasions, but Limestone claimed a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-five contest.

"Losing the first set woke us up," said Rombaut. "Things defensively weren't working and we were still kind of lazy from last night (Thursday). We started closing blocks, the defense got to where they needed to be and we finally put it together offensively."

Mount Olive recorded a combined 14 team blocks in the final three sets and limited Limestone to a .081 hitting percentage during that stretch. The Saints committed 26 hitting errors after the first set and 34 total for the match.
